What began as a day of music and celebration at France’s Rock & Cars festival ended in tragedy when a falling tree branch killed comedian Tony Knight, 54. Several people were injured, but Tony was the only fatality.
Beloved for his humor and kindness, Tony was preparing for a UK tour and was also known as a “dog listener,” helping people connect with their pets. He had been living in Australia with his partner, Hayley Wright, who has launched a fundraiser to cover expenses and honor his memory.
Fans worldwide continue to share tributes, remembering Tony for his laughter, compassion, and the joy he brought to so many lives.
